Part horror, part sci-fi, all cuteness, is perhaps the best way to described “Pure Trance”,
Japanese manga artist Junko Mizuno‘s first full length graphic novel. Attracting an ever growing number of admirers since the manga first published in 1998. Last Thursday evening, the manga-ka herself, along with a number of die-hard fans packed Kidrobot New York for the premiere of Mizuno’s first ever figures by Kidrobot.
